Houston rapper Chamillionaire speaks out on viral email offering help to family of deported man

Houston rapper Chamillionaire wants to help the family of a man -a father of two - who was just deported after spending 30 years living in the U.S.

Chamillionaire was specifically moved by the story of Jorge Garcia, 39, who was profiled by the Detroit Free Press' Niraj Warikoo Monday.

"Garcia was brought to the U.S. by an undocumented family member when he was 10 years old," Warikoo wrote. "Today he has a wife and two children, all of whom are U.S. citizens. He's been trying for years to find a path to live legally in the U.S., with he and his wife spending $125,000 in legal costs and fees since 2005, says his wife."

The story moved Chamillionaire so much that he sent Warikoo an email offering to help the Garcia family financially.

"I'm a musician and tech investor and I'm looking to talk to them to see how I can help with financial support in Jorge's absence," the email stated. "It would be great if you could possibly point me in the right direction."

Warikoo posted a screengrab of the email on Twitter, where it has gone viral. As of Thursday afternoon, it has collected more than 4,000 retweets and 16,000 likes.

"(When I sent the email) I assumed this would be a private conversation, and I was hoping that I would be connected to the family, but unfortunately, neither happened," Chamillionaire told Chron.com Thursday afternoon over email. "It looks like the story of this family's unfortunate situation is gaining some traction, so at the least, I'm happy to see their story getting the attention that it deserves."
